    A fun country music dive bar with reasonable drinks, good service and good live music. We have the pork green chile which was quite decent. Definitely a must stop by when visiting Old Town Scottsdale. During the day you have a few tables and chairs .. At night this place gets quite busy and it's standing room only.

    Our first stop when we landed in Scottsdale, Arizona was the Rusty Spur Saloon ‼ The Oldest Bar and last Cowboy Saloon With Live Country Music 7 Days + 7 Nights a Week! It's actually a historic building dating back to 1921 when it was a bank! Great cowboy vibes! You place your drinks and food orders at the bar. There are 2 unique bar stools! We stopped by several times throughout our visit- enjoyed the cold drinks and country music! Absolutely love this: Leave a dollar on our wall! Make your mark and leave a signed dollar bill to commemorate your visit to the Rusty Spur. At the end of the year, we clear the walls and donate it all to Phoenix Children's Hospital. We left a dollar $$ Highly recommend! Happy National Arizona Day‼ June 21, 2025

    I'm not sure you can stop in Scottsdale and not visit the Rusty Spur. My friend and I had a mini crawl on a Thursday afternoon. We popped into the Rusty Spur around noon and were able to get a table. I opted for a margarita and he had a beer. There are no draft beer options available here. Bartenders were all extremely friendly and engaging. Rusty Spur is not very large, will get packed, but is an obligatory stop in Old Town. I'm glad I stopped in.

    Scottsdale's first bar You've probably walked past the swinging doors and peaked in as you strolled through old town Scottsdale. Next time, actually stop in for a drink and stay a while listening to good country music. The Rusty Spur opened in 1951 as Scottsdale's first bar and is registered as an official historical landmark. The building was constructed in 1921 as a bank, and the original vault is still inside and has since been converted into a refrigerator. You'll find live music 7 days a week. Lunch includes burgers, chili, tamales, and more. And of course, you can wet yer whistle in some unique photo worthy seats at the bar.

    Live bands!

    This was such a VIBE! We had dinner across the street at Beginners Luck and stopped by this cute country bar. They have live music at 8. The bartenders are so kind and the people are all nice! The band was AMAZING! Great vibe and cannot wait to go back!

    The song playing when i walked in tells it all "time for a good time"! This place was jumping at 1:30 on a Thursday! So much fun! Drinks at a good price for Scottsdale and the stuff all looked like they were having a blast i love a place that can turn the energy on for the customer, admittedly i walked in a little hung over and i knew i was in for a good time two steps in. Onion rings are amazing do yourself a favor and go ahead and do that :) Secret menu- order the tamale... order a cowboy chili now let them make baby's it's a beautiful thing!

    Amazing local tavern in old town Scottsdale - a must visit! Live music, friendly people, staff and musicians. Shout out to Josh for making our first visit memorable and interactive! We loved this spot, it's like walking back in time and stepping into an old saloon from the Wild West. A must see!

    Stopped in for a beer or two, or three or was it 4? and a shot of Basil Hayden ( a good 2 oz pour) with a guy playing solo music which was fantastic! Great spot with many people having a great tune dancing, conversing and bartender was friendly as welcoming!

    Super hot date :-)

    Too much fun! The fun barstools, the amazing bartenders (amazing singing bartenders), the awesome live music, the excellent service, the awesome folks we met there. This is a really cool "hole in the wall" that ended up being absolutely jam packed on a Thursday night. It was so much fun. We got there early and got seats at the bar. Met awesome folks. Drank, danced, laughed...highly recommend.

    If you're a white suprematist this is your place to hang out. The amount of racism is palpable.

    What happened to the large stuffed buffalo head? I don't see it in the photos.

    It was still there last time I noticed. I reviewed my photos and I can confirm it was there on 4/29/18 anyway.

    New to this . I'm coming over from UK in June to Phoenix and interested in the Rusty Spur . Is there an age limit in the eve as have 18yr old daughter with me ? Cheers

    They allowed under 21 at the tables but not at the bar today.

    We hosted a large group event here last night (50 people), and everything was absolutely seamless…read morefrom start to finish. The food and drinks were amazing--our entire group couldn't stop raving about them. Lisa and Taylor took such great care of us, staying on top of everything and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. The booking process was just as impressive--the events coordinator made everything incredibly easy and stress-free, which we really appreciated. Overall, our group was beyond happy with the experience, and we will definitely be back!

We'd walked in a few months earlier, and earmarked it as "A birthday kind of place". You feel like you've stepped into heaven. So, for my birthday we planned accordingly and went there last night. Taylor was a wonderful server. Our drinks took a little longer than she would have liked, and I could tell by her demeanor. Still, it was a blessing because we were able to take in the entire energy of this magnificent restaurant. When she came back, she encouraged us to place our entire order. At first, I was concerned as we wanted the night to last. But she assured me that nothing would be rushed, and she was correct. We ordered the chicken thigh and scallop skewer. Man! These were amazing!!! The presentation fantastic on a little coal stove and the taste was out of this world. I'd be happy just enjoying a few skewers for dinner sometime. My old fashioned was also wonderful. Then the rest of our meal arrived. The Bone in Ribeye, wagyu fried rice and mushrooms. All, just amazing. The fried rice topped the list for me. Just as we started eating, I felt an unexpected raindrop that had not been in the forecast. We ran inside with everyone else. And what a gift it turned out to be. Although we adored our table in heaven outside, we now had a completely different vantage point being in this hip and trendy bar that was stunning in every way. And despite the chaos, the service remained exemplary. Taylor asked if we needed anything else, and I merely asked if they had any bread. I was uncertain with it being a Japanese steakhouse if indeed they had rolls or bread. Well, even though the kitchen was wrapping up for the night (it was close to midnight), she managed to get me one of the most decadent things I've ever tasted. The Japanese Milk Bread. WOW!!! It was a magical night and will remember it for many years to come.

Very on top of it with timing, service, knowledge of food, etc. I wanted to try the chopped salad everyone raved about.

Then we shared their filet with mashed potatoes and charred broccoli. . Hubby and I both said "yummmmy" Finished with the dessert of the night. A Bread pudding with oranges and cherries and something else with vanilla whipped cream and chocolate drizzled. Excellent. Definitely worth the praise on social media.

I mean really, did the chef put any salt and pepper on the flesh side of the salmon or did he/she only season the skin side? For the love of God...put some salt on both sides and please only cook it to medium! Just my two cents! I hope management reads this because I'll be returning to The Gladly with a large group of friends in February and we've selected salmon as one of the choices for our group meal. I hope and pray the fish will be cooked properly with seasoning please! Okay, I'm done talking about the salmon! The Chopped Salad was good and the spinach dip was very good! My spicy margarita was also top notch! However, the salmon left a bad taste in my mouth!
